Given the location, potential renters MUST have a canoe/kayak to access the land from the public boat launch. There are no restroom facilities of any kind, so please be prepared to pack in/pack out your preferred solution. Enjoy the serenity of this unique island oasis!

Swim, fish, and paddle to your heart’s content (the lake has a 6mph speed limit; gas motors are not prohibited but electric and trolling motors or paddles are encouraged to maintain a peaceful atmosphere). There are 3 access points on the island to land/launch, and a public boat launch at the bottom of Harper’s Ferry Landing Rd. Property has a large fire pit and plenty of wood available to burn, along with a large flat top Blackstone griddle (please provide your own propane).

Loon sightings are common, and we ask that if any evidence of nesting is observed that you please not disturb. Enjoy!

Duncan Lake Island

Beautiful island

We loved camping on the lake. We had an amazing time. We saw a few harmless water snakes, a nesting loon, ospreys, turtles, and frogs. There was plenty of firewood and a picnic table. The campsite was clean and flat. Would definitely recommend, and would love to stay again in the future

Tent camping on a peaceful island.

What an incredible and peaceful stay for Mother’s Day weekend with the family. We had so much fun! Great fishing, tons of big old bullfrogs and water snakes which was cool! And the loons, can’t forget the loons! Levi was a great host and really hope to come back to this sweet spot again soon!

Duncan Lake Island

perfect island to camp at!!

what an awesome spot!! It was honestly impossible to not catch trout. we spent time kayaking out and trying for trout and then gave up. once we got to the island we set two rods out and couldn’t stop catching them! so you don’t even have to leave the island to catch fish which is so cool. plenty of campfire wood freshly chopped and kindling around the island. I have zero complaints this spot was awesome! the loons were beautiful, good cell service, great fishing, trash can at the boat launch, and a spot i’ll definitely be coming back too.
